1. RESEARCH POSTER PRESENTATION DESIGN © 2012 www.PosterPresentations.com (—THIS SIDEBAR DOES NOT PRINT—) DESIGN GUIDE This PowerPoint 2007 template produces a 48”x72” presentation poster. You can use it to create your research poster and save valuable time placing titles, subtitles, text, and graphics. We provide a series of online answer your poster production questions. To view our template tutorials, go online to PosterPresentations.com and click on HELP DESK. When you are ready to print your poster, go online to PosterPresentations.com Need assistance? Call us at 1.510.649.3001 QUICK START Zoom in and out As you work on your poster zoom in and out to the level that is more comfortable to you. Go to VIEW > ZOOM. Title, Authors, and Affiliations Start designing your poster by adding the title, the names of the authors, and the affiliated institutions. You can type or paste text into the provided boxes. The template will automatically adjust the size of your text to fit the title box. You can manually override this feature and change the size of your text. TIP: The font size of your title should be bigger than your name(s) and institution name(s). Adding Logos / Seals Most often, logos are added on each side of the title. You can insert a logo by dragging and dropping it from your desktop, copy and paste or by going to INSERT > PICTURES. Logos taken from web sites are likely to be low quality when printed. Zoom it at 100% to see what the logo will look like on the final poster and make any necessary adjustments. TIP: See if your company’s logo is available on our free poster templates page. Photographs / Graphics You can add images by dragging and dropping from your desktop, copy and paste, or by going to INSERT > PICTURES. Resize images proportionally by holding down the SHIFT key and dragging one of the corner handles. For a professional-looking poster, do not distort your images by enlarging them disproportionally. Image Quality Check Zoom in and look at your images at 100% magnification. If they look good they will print well. ORIGINAL DISTORTED Corner handles Good printing quality Bad printing quality QUICK START (cont.) How to change the template color theme You can easily change the color theme of your poster by going to the DESIGN menu, click on COLORS, and choose the color theme of your choice. You can also create your own color theme. You can also manually change the color of your background by going to VIEW > SLIDE MASTER. After you finish working on the master be sure to go to VIEW > NORMAL to continue working on your poster. How to add Text The template comes with a number of pre- formatted placeholders for headers and text blocks. You can add more blocks by copying and pasting the existing ones or by adding a text box from the HOME menu. Text size Adjust the size of your text based on how much content you have to present. The default template text offers a good starting point. Follow the conference requirements. How to add Tables To add a table from scratch go to the INSERT menu and click on TABLE. A drop-down box will help you select rows and columns. You can also copy and a paste a table from Word or another PowerPoint document. A pasted table may need to be re- formatted by RIGHT-CLICK > FORMAT SHAPE, TEXT BOX, Margins. Graphs / Charts You can simply copy and paste charts and graphs from Excel or Word. Some reformatting may be required depending on how the original document has been created. How to change the column configuration RIGHT-CLICK on the poster background and select LAYOUT to see the column options available for this template. The poster columns can also be customized on the Master. VIEW > MASTER. How to remove the info bars If you are working in PowerPoint for Windows and have finished your poster, save as PDF and the bars will not be included. You can also delete them by going to VIEW > MASTER. On the Mac adjust the Page-Setup to match the Page-Setup in PowerPoint before you create a PDF. You can also delete them from the Slide Master. Save your work Save your template as a PowerPoint document. For printing, save as PowerPoint of “Print-quality” PDF. Student discounts are available on our Facebook page.

This delivery system will be used to deliver goods from point A to point B. The client has also requested a user interface in order to set delivery routes as needed. In addition to this, the delivery system will be using tones as commands that it will translate into functionality of the car’s movement. PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED To demonstrate how this is possible, we created a prototype on a smaller scale using an RC car as our vehicle for transportation. We then integrated our control software with the software/hardware capabilities of a raspberry pi for both tone recognition and control of the Servo and Motor of the RC car. This allowed us to successfully use tones to send different commands to the car. SOFTWARE OVERVIEW TACON RC Car Raspberry Pi USB Sound Card Speaker Microphone Bread Board Wireless Keyboard Monitor Battery Pack Hardware Components The main hardware components to this project is the Servo, Motor, Speaker, and Microphone. The Servo and Motor both used Pulse Width Modulation for the control signal. Using the software on the raspberry pi we were able to create this signal to control the acceleration and turning by varying the duty cycle. This allowed us to create functions that the tone recognition software could call. HARWARE OVERVIEW TEAM MEMBERS Shoaib Ali CONCLUSION During and after the completion of our prototype we began to formulate additional ideas and improvements to further develop this delivery system. If we were given more time with this project, we would implement the pulse width modulation in the hardware rather than using the software of the raspberry pi. This would allow us to have more precision with the movement of the car. The tone recognition would also respond faster if implemented in hardware as well. Also, using additional hardware we could improve some of the response time and error by having the car run a calibration. Further more, we could add ultra sonic sensors to the car and include logic in the code that could prevent collisions. There are a lot of really great ways to expand upon this project. The ideas are endless. Autonomous 4-Wheel Sound Delivery System University of North Texas Anibal DeLeon Caleb Cheatham SOLUTION We used several pieces of software to complete our goal. The main piece being the user interface where the user can program instructions for the RC car to follow. This piece was written in C. We also had created a program that generated and recognized tones. This was created using Python. Lastly we mapped the tones to function that were also created in Python which made use of the raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins.
